The Right Stuff

I'm one of those old school guys who has ran a business on a handshake and some basic guidelines. I've paid my employees very well, been very kind to them and paid them like my contemporaries have. After getting my first letters from the Labor Commissioner, I got some real bad advice too. After the R...etaliation guy called me, I was standing over a cliff watching 30 years of work ready to go crashing down. After searching the web and making a few phone calls, Lisa Sherman was the attorney I hired. I liked that I actually talked to the owner. This is not a story that was going to have a happy ending. Lisa was very up front about that. This was about knowing the system, how to deal with all parties involved and create a scenario where we could reach a reasonable settlement rather than letting this go all the way forward. Lisa let me do some ground work. We met and came up with a game plan. She communicated well, keeping me in the loop. Settlement day came and when she went into action it was impressive. Calm, cool and collected, Lisa presented the numbers. She found an obscure formula that calculated overtime for piecework employees that saved me a lot of money. Lisa knew how she wanted this scenario to play out and willed it to happen. In 45 minutes it was over with everyone smiling. We reached a reasonable settlement and had a great weight lifted off my shoulders. Lisa works tirelessly, is knowledgeable and patient. I found her to be a person who knew how something was going to play out and used her skill and expertise to make it happen. Lisa will be a good resource going forward also. Guess I have learned that staying in business is as important as being in business. I would recommend Lisa Sherman in a heartbeat.

Lisa is our go to employment lawyer for California. She has assisted us with complex classification issues and many other employee disciple/termination and wage/hour matters. She is very responsive and thorough and would highly recommend her.

What more can I say about Lisa!!! Hire her!!

When you hire Lisa as your attorney you are hiring a human being first, and that is exactly how you will be treated. Lisa took my case and from day one she made me feel like she was in my corner and would fight for me. She not only treated me with respect but as if I was a member of her own family. W...ith Lisa I hired an attorney and ended up with a true friend for life. Not only would I recommend Lisa to anyone looking for an employment attorney I will use Lisa in for any and all of my businesses in the future. Her knowledge of the law is exceptional and you will always be treated like a person and not a percentage. What more can I say about Lisa? Hire her!!!

Difficult labor law issue

I was referred to Lisa because I had a difficult labor law issue. I found her work to be thorough, on time and extremely helpful in resolving the matter. Lisa's integrity and persistence helped me resolve the matter to my satisfaction. I would recommend her unreservedly to those who need help in t...he labor law area and who don't want to pay the heavy overhead charges of large or even mid-sized law firms.

Highly recommend Lisa Sherman

It was great working with Lisa Sherman. You always feel that she "has your back." She is very prompt at responding to all concerns and interprets legal matters in a comprehensible way. And she got us very positive results. Highly recommended.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Lisa is smart, makes herself available day or night for her clients, and is always looking for the most cost-effective solution. For employers, she has achieved unimaginable results in tough cases that would likely be churned by other lawyers at reasonable hourly rates minimally staffed. For employees, she uses her 20 plus years as a defense attorney to be more effective than the most seasoned plaintiff’s employment attorneys. With her big firm, small firm and in-house experience as an employment lawyer, she is clearly experienced, but what makes her stand out is that her clients adore her, even after experiencing some of the most emotionally and financially difficult times in their lives. She is my go to employment attorney."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
